I live in Bangalore, India. My Mom is a devotee of Shirdi and Satya Sai Baba. That is how I got into His Fold. I have been praying to Baba for many years now. This is a small experience of mine, but for those of us whose faith keeps wavering, it is a sign that Baba does exist and is listening to us. I visit the Shirdi Mandir close to home every now and then. I generally don't go inside on Thursdays due to the heavy rush. I made some purchases and was walking towards the Temple today i.e. Thursday. I saw some people eating Prasad (Kesari bath - sweet dish made out of Rava/Semolina) and the following thought crossed my mind -'how nice it would be if I could get a spoon of the Kesari bath. I haven't eaten it in a while. I'm not that old, but try to avoid sweets because my Dad is diabetic. I stood outside the temple premises and prayed to Baba and requested Him to solve my problems. One of the volunteers came towards me and gave me some prasad. I was really surprised because they generally don't give it to people standing outside the temple. There was a long queue of people waiting to go inside the temple. I told myself that Baba knew my desire and gave me the Prasad. I was really happy - shared a little with another girl who was praying from the outside like me and took the remaining home for my Parents.

Here is another incident that I would like to share. I had never experienced any miracle from Baba's side. I was going through a very low phase earlier this year and was praying in a hall (Next to the Sai Mandir) that had Baba's picture. There was nobody else in the hall. I usually keep Vibhuti on my forehead and looked for it in the hall, but it was not there. I prayed and cried in front of Baba and asked Him if He was really there and why He was troubling me so much. I asked Him to give me a sign. I suddenly smelt Vibhuti. It lasted for a fraction of a second and the smell was gone. The smell could not have come from outside since there was a lot of distance between me and the entrance of the hall. So I don't think it was my imagination. Since I asked Baba for a sign, He gave me a sign!! So Baba is there and is listening.
